I had a bunch of white felt left over from last year. I searched pinterest for an ornament to make with it. I found this, http://www.thatartistwoman.org/2008/12/skates_02.html and decided to make it. It seemed simple enough which was required since I had to make 12 sets of them. And I loved that it used paperclips for the skates. I did modify them a bit since the glue wasn't holding them closed, so I hand sewed around the edges. The only thing I had to buy was the red sequins. Hope everyone enjoys their ice skate ornaments. I had fun making them!
